Great show!

We're watching this series that we haven't seen since the 1970s and enjoying it a great deal. We're just about done watching season one, so still many laughs to go in seasons two and three.

Good deal, good for games

Bought this as a present for my son to use with his game console. It works great, and he's happy with it.
Plus it was delivered 2 days sooner than it was expected, so that was an extra bonus.

Solid hard drive that I use with Plex
on May 3, 2020
Posted by: TexasJoe
Verified Purchase:Yes
I recently had a 4 TB hard drive die on my Plex system so I was looking for a replacement drive. This Tocshiba 12 TB was pricey, but Best Buy price matched Amazon's price for the same drive, and that made it a much better deal. I've had the drive for almost 3 months now and I'm very satisfied with it.

I've used the Logitech MX Master 2 mouse and the MX Master 2S mouse. This is very simlar, no major changes that I can tell. I have it connected to two different computers, and so far it's working really well. I like it.

Great MP3 player!
on May 3, 2020
Posted by: TexasJoe
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been looking at similar bone conduction headphones for months, but I hate having to connect to my phone to play music while I run so I've been looking at MP3 players too. Then I saw this set of headphones that has the MP3 player built in. Perfect! It's way light, doesn't bother me when I run, and the sound is pretty darn good. I've only run wearing this twice so far, but so far I haven't had any issues. I wish it were a little less expensive, but if it lasts it'll be worth it.

Light laptop with solid performance
on May 3, 2020
Posted by: TexasJoe
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was already looking at this as a possible replacement for my 4-year-old laptop. When it went on sale for $300 off it was a no-brainer. I'm very happy for the 16 GB of RAM, but I do wish it would have had a 1 TB SSD instead of the 512 GB SSD. Still, for the price, that's okay. I've only had this laptop for about a month, but I'm very happy with it so far.

Enjoying this ukulele

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was an impulse purchase when Best Buy had it on sale. When I saw it I thought it would be great for my 5-year-old granddaughter. I wouldn't say it's her favorite toy, but she does come back to it over and over. We haven't tried to play it very seriously yet, but it's on my list for us to learn together. Money well spent.

Excellent running and biking GPS watch
on December 24, 2019
Posted by: TexasJoe
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've used a lot of GPS watches over the last 15 or so years, including 3 Timex watches, a Motorola, and most recently 2 TomToms. I loved them all, but each company moved away from the GPS watch line leaving me to find a different brand when it came time to get a replacement. Yet somehow I never had a Garmin until now.
The biggest problem I think I've had with Garmin in recent years is that their line is too big. It was just too hard for me to figure out which watch was the right watch for me. Frankly, I was just about to bite the bullet and buy the expensive Fenix when this Instinct went on sale and I thought "Okay, I'll try it."
I've had it almost 6 weeks now, and I like it! Durable, seems accurate enough, rugged. I've worn it along with my TomTom (opposite wrists) to check accuracy. Sometimes they're very, very close, but for my longer rides and runs they do vary a bit. Not enough that I'm concerned, though. I usually don't care too much if I've ridden 28.32 or 28.37 miles, and I don't know which one is off (or both!?). Close enough for me.
The watch is comfortable. It's a little bigger than my TomTom, and it took me a few days to get used to the size, but otherwise no issues. I wear it when I ride, run, rest, sleep, shower. So far, so good!
And the battery lasts a long time! I haven't run out of juice yet. I try to remember to top off by charging at least twice a week, but I've gone at least 5 days without charging a couple of times and haven't run it dry. I don't know how long it'll go, and I'm not looking to find out. Again, so far, so good!
I may still check out the cool Fenix line for the maps, but for day-to-day activities I'm very happy with the Instinct, especially having gotten it on sale.

Perfect for adding second monitor!
on December 11, 2019
Posted by: TexasJoe
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have a 2016 laptop with three USB 3.0 ports and one HDMI port. I use the HDMI port for a 32-inch monitor, but I have a second 32-inch monitor that I couldn't connect -- until now.
I'm using all three USB ports on the laptop, but I temporarily unplugged one USB device to plug the mini dock in, and then I plugged the third USB device into the mini dock USB port. The device works!
Then I plugged my second monitor into the mini dock HDMI port. Video came right up, does not seem sluggish or anything, and I didn't even have to do anything to set it up or configure it. It just worked. So now I have both 32-inch monitors working on my laptop. Perfect!

Type with this multi-device Logitech wireless keyboard. The built-in rubber cradle supports devices vertically, making small screens easily viewable, and 128-bit AES encryption keeps information private. Compatible with Windows, Mac, Chrome and Android devices, this Logitech wireless keyboard uses USB and Bluetooth technology to connect to your smartphone and tablet.
 

Is there a Logitec Mouse that would be able to utilize the same USB receiver as the keyboard. Therefore having only one USB devise plugged into computer for both the keyboard and mouse?

Yes, you can have multiple (up to 7, I think) devices connected to a single USB unifying receiver. I have personally have 3 devices connected to a single unifying receiver (2 keyboards and a mouse).

Can you still use the Home/End/PageUp/PageDown keys while the NumLock is ON? If so, how? Function key maybe?

Yes, exactly right. Using the Fn key allows you to use the Home/End/PageUp/PageDown keys while the NumLock is ON.

Ensure maximum comfort from this Logitech mouse. The precise ergonomic design ensures you stay comfortable throughout the day even if you're a power user, and the additional side button lets you create a custom setup. Smooth gliding is assured from this Logitech mouse thanks to the low-resistance base that slips over any surface.
 

What is the different between this one and the MX Master? Other than price/color choice of course.

The only difference I see is that the 2S has Flow, which allows you to switch which computer the mouse is connected to just by moving the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen. With the original MX Master you could still control more than one computer, but you had to pick up the mouse and press a button to change which computer was controlled by the mouse.
